Description

Abstract: It was a breath of fresh air to be back on the ocean with everyone this year. Thank you to all our anglers for helping make our 2022 surveys a success. Thanks especially to our charter captains and crews. Robbie Waddell of the F/V Misty helped surveys at Cape Perpetua run smoothly and efficiently. We’d like to welcome a new captain to the rotation – James Pederson of the F/V Samson who led our surveys at Cascade Head for the first time. He immediately adapted to our methods and also served as our unofficial whale-watching guide. We greatly appreciate their hard work, expert knowledge, and collaboration! Many thanks to all our science assistants who recorded data. We couldn’t gather this valuable long-term data without everyone involved. This was our 5th year of hook-and-line surveys at Cape Perpetua and the 6th year at Cascade Head. We saw many species of fish, and even a mix of invertebrates and rock – Great job targeting the bottom! Congratulations to Lindsay Aylesworth on her promotion to the broader Marine Reserves Program Leader. This means you won’t be seeing her on the boat much, but she will be busy steering the program into the future. Please enjoy this summary of the data YOU ALL helped collect this past year. We hope to see you again in 2023 for surveys at Cape Falcon. We are grateful to have such dedicated volunteers.
